Bethenny Frankel Scares Me

Bethenny Frankel

It’s mid-November, and Halloween has already faded into but a distant memory – except for those Snickers that went straight to our thighs.  However, I could not resist just one more celebrity Halloween costume post.

Bethenny Frankel celebrated Halloween at Heidi Klum‘s infamous party, and I’m not sure who was scarier:  Klum as a skinned corpse, or Frankel as a kind of slutty Hello Kitty. This is a costume for a women easily 15 years (or more) younger than Frankel, but I don’t think she could have even pulled this off then.

Bethenny Frankel Launches Skinnygirl Sangria

Bethenny Frankel is bringing you another cocktail this summer – the Skinnygirl Sangria.

The former Real Housewives of New York star launched the new mix in NYC at Gramercy Terrace on Wednesday and she was definitely in the pink. Frankel, 40, stepped out in a hot flamingo pink mini dress she paired with juicy orange-colored pumps.

Frankel said her new cocktail is perfect for women.

“Sangria is that cocktail that women want to drink, but they get a headache the next day and they feel guilty about drinking it because of all that sugar,” she said.

“Women are wine drinkers — white wine drinkers — so it was a natural progression to go right into white

Her Skinnygirl line is quite a hit with celebs too. Frankel named Lea Michele, Kate Hudson, Snoop Dogg and Hoda Kotb as fans of her line.

Bethenny is also launching a skin care line this fall. Skinnygirl Face & Beauty by Bethenny will be in Wal-Mart stores exclusively later this year.

More photos of Bethenny at the Skinnygirl Sangria launch are below.  (Read the article)

Bethenny Frankel To Launch Skinnygirl Skin Care Line This Fall

You don’t need pricy skincare  and unrealistic expectations. Bethenny Frankel believes you just need a quality product that is affordable and that’s where she comes in.

Frankel is launching her own beauty line in partnership with Lotta Luv. Skinnygirl Face & Body Solutions will hit store shelves this fall and Skinnygirl Mommy closer to holiday time.

The 40 year-old reality TV star and business woman tells Women’s Wear Daily that she will give consumers straight talk.

“$150 eye cream is ridiculous and absurd,” Frankel said. “Skin care can be confusing and I want to be straightforward.”

Frankel, who’s currently filming a new season of the BRAVO show Bethenny Ever After, also says she’s not into the hype that surrounds beauty products.

“[Promises like] “you’re going to look like Heidi Klum in two days” or “like you had a face-lift” have always bothered me,” she explained.

“I don’t make false promises. I don’t want people to think in three days they’ll have no cellulite. That’s not going to happen.”

The products will be sold exclusively at Wal-Mart and Frankel says every product she puts her Skinnygirl label on, she uses and she’s intent on making it the best it can be.

“I have no idea how people could just stamp their name on something. I’m obsessed. I use everything, I named every single product. I created the packaging and the logo.”

The woman knows what’s she’s doing. She sold her Skinnygirl cocktail line for a reported $100 million and this new venture could bring in as much as $18 million in the first year.

Bethenny Frankel Getting Sued And She Says She Won’t Be ‘Bullied’

Bethenney Frankel‘s ex-managers have filed a huge lawsuit against the reality TV star claiming they’ve been cut out of profits from deals they brokered.

The Raw Talent company filed suit for $112 million alleging she contracted with company head Doug Wald in 2008 as her personal rep and he helped broker a deal for the Skinnygirl cocktail line.

Raw Talent also claims to have hooked Bethenny up with a veteran in the liquor industry who could help her market the line with Frankel fronting it and sell it in a couple of years for a huge profit.

In the court papers Wald says he was fired just days before the deal was actually inked and when the company was sold 2 years later, he was owed his 10% cut.

The percentage of the deal would be about $12 million plus Raw Talent wants $100 million punitive damages!

Not so fast says the former Real Housewives of New York star.

Frankel said in a statement that she isn’t paying and she won’t be pushed around.

“Unfortunately, one of the signs of success is being the subject of frivolous lawsuits, like this one,” Frankel says in a statement to THR. “This is simply someone with his hand out, who did nothing to earn it, and I am not going to be bullied.”

The Bethenny Ever After star says she’s considering all avenues, including a possible countersuit.

‘Skating With The Stars’ Winner Is…

I’m not sure with the low viewership this is considered a spoiler, so here goes…

ABC reality/competition show Skating With The Stars crowned it’s first (and likely last) winner on Tuesday night. The final two contestants: Real Housewives alum Bethenny Frankel went up against All My Children actress Rebecca Budig for the Golden Skates and Budig took the win.

“I’m shocked, really I am!,’ she said. ‘Bethenny and I were talking about it, really…I’m just shocked. I owe all of this to Fred [Palascak, her skating pro partner] who is an unbelievable teacher.

The show debuted after Dancing with the Stars finale and has dropped viewers to a ratings low of just over 3 million – respectable if it was on cable – dismal on a major network. It does not make it likely that ABC will give it another season.

However, that shouldn’t take away from the winner’s hard work. Congratulation to Rebecca.

Bethenny Frankel Believes She Can Fly

Bethenny Frankel was trying to take off at the Citymeals-on-Wheels ’24th Annual Power Lunch for Women‘ in New York City yesterday.  At least that’s what her flight stance looks like to me.

Bethenny will be starring on Skating With The Stars on November 22 on ABC.  This you have to see.

Bethenny Frankel Does The “Mom Thing” Well – Photos

With the days of The Real Housewives slowly fading behind her, Bethenny Frankel is really taking on her new life as a working mom in stride.  I think leaving the show was the best thing she could do for herself.  She is so much happier and content.  Sure, she’s still doing a show.  But it’s without all of that unnecessary drama.

Bethenny Frankel Officially QUITS The Real Housewives of New York

Bethenny Frankel has officially quit The Real Housewives of New York.  Why would she do that?  Because her spin of show, Bethenny Getting Married has been a pretty big success and she over the drama that RHONY brings into her life.  I can’t say that I can blame her for making this move.

Bethenny revealed to Us Weekly that “Last season was scary and painful. It took all of the joy out of it,” so she doesn’t “see any reason to go back.  My gut’s saying not to be part of this cast.”

Thanks for contracts, Bethenny will have to make a few appearances on the next season, but not be a cast member.  Sucks for her, but that’s Hollywood business.

Will you miss Bethenny or are you glad she’s leaving?

Bethenny Frankel Is Full Of Expression

Bethenny Frankel was at the ’GLAAD Manhattan‘ Summer Rooftop Event in New York City being, well… Bethenny.  The girl totally cracked me up with her constant expressions.  She is totally cute and hasn’t lost her sense of humor despite all the crazy controversy she is constantly facing with those insane women on The Real Housewives.

Bethenny Frankel has reached official MILF status.  This new mom who doesn’t look like she just had a baby was out promoting her book, The Skinny Girl Dish at Barnes & Noble in New York City.

I absolutely love that dress.  Perhaps that’s because I own one almost identical to it!  She looks great and hello, we know baby Bryn is getting well fed!

So many people love to hate on Bethenny, but I think the girl is fab.  Seriously, how can you hate all her spunk?
